 // For debugging, the result of t.String does include the monotonic
 // clock reading if present. If t != u because of different monotonic clock readings,
 // that difference will be visible when printing t.String() and u.String().

+// # Timer Resolution
+//
+// Timer resolution varies depending on the Go runtime, the operating system
+// and the underlying hardware.
+// On Unix, the resolution is approximately 1ms.
+// On Windows, the default resolution is approximately 16ms, but
+// a lower resolution may be requested using [timeBeginPeriod].
